Aunt of Sheryl Cruz.
A key figure in the move calling for the resignation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in June 2005 amid charges of cheating the 2004 elections in which her husband ran but lost allegedly. In a fiery speech, she claimed that "She (Arroyo) stole the presidency not once, but twice!"
Following the death of her husband in 2004 at the age of 65, Susan became a rallying point for the political opposition in the Philippines.
